An internal plan of the gallery, aiming to increase visitor movement and interaction.
As part of the museum’s wider masterplan – which is transforming around a third of the sites gallery space – Muf’s new gallery will feature interactive exhibits and live event areas that allow people to explore scientific principles of the environment through observation and experimentation.
